An After-Dark Brooklyn Bazaar

The nighttime is the right time. Especially if you’re in Williamsburg this evening between the after-hours
of 5pm and 1am. That’s when the Brooklyn Night Bazaar will be transforming a gargantuan warehouse into a
neon-lit marketplace full of food vendors, live music and various miscellanea like hand-painted baseball
cards. You can never have enough miscellanea.

Bespoken’s getting into the custom shirt game. And to celebrate, they’ve popped up a shirt bar inside
menswear mainstay Odin. Belly up to the counter, place an order, and a 16-person team of tailors will build
you a button-down. For proof, they’ll each autograph the shirt’s hang tag. Or upon request, a body part.

Saturday

PRODIGAL SON

The Brunch Bloody Mary. Now a Salad.

Since the dawn of time (or the invention of midday cocktailing), it was assumed that if you wanted a Bloody
Mary, you had to drink it. Then Sons of Essex launched their weekend brunch. And suddenly you could eat it
with a fork. At this rate, straws will be extinct by 2014.

A Russian Bathhouse Dance Party

There’re very few reasons one would break into a Russian bathhouse after closing. A half-naked dance
party: certainly one of them. So this Saturday, you’ll throw on your favorite dancing robe and prepare for
a late night of steaming, jacuzzi-ing and rhythmic Marco Polo. You’ll want to stretch.

Like a Bar from the ’70s. The 1870s.

Some things need to be broken in before they can be truly appreciated. La-Z-Boys. Baseball mitts.
Neighborhood bars. Then there’s the Wayland. A just-opened watering hole that feels like it’s been
around since the Grant administration. Homemade bitters. Live piano music. Paint-chipped walls. That new
old-bar smell...
